aged between 13 and 30 on suspicion of murder. i can confirm that the males were arrested from a local authority run caravan and mobile home site. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of lawyer peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. pro—democracy protesters take to the streets of hong kong once more — they've been supported by thousands of teachers. jeremy corbyn‘s proposal to be installed as a ‘caretaker‘ prime minister to prevent a no—deal brexit is rejected by another senior conservative mp. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello, and welcome to sportsday, with karthi gna nasegaram and jane dougall.

the headlines this evening: a great partnership between lacazette and aubameyang saw arsenal secure a second win of the season. after being hit twice — steve smith goes on to top score for australia and it's england who're now in pain — struggling with the bat at lords. officially number one! wales‘ victory over england put them at the top of the rankings and bodes well for the world cup. also coming up on the programme: we round—up the home nations action on day two of the men's eurohockey championships in antwerp. the canoeist who crowdfunded to have her own leg amputated and is now hoping for success at the world championships in hungary.

we begin with a promising start to arsenal's premier league campaign. they've won their opening two fixtures for the first time in a decade. in a new look team where david luiz made his arsenal debut — they narrowly beat burnley 2—1 at the emirates with the arsenal manager, unai emery saving particular praise for his new signings. rhia chohan reports. this is one of those feel—good fixtures for arsenal, they have never failed to beat burnley at the emirates and with new faces, dani ceballos and david luis, they were hoping to maintain that record. early on, alexandre lacazette took advantage of dismal defending holding off eric peters. strength and pure determination from the frenchman crafted an early lead but it was just before the break when burnley was able to cut open the defence to level, ashley barnes continuing his run of the season.

in the second half pierre—emerick aubameyang elicited the sharpest reaction from nick pope. this attack allowed the victory to be settled and the sky—high moment arsenal fans love. it is the first time in ten years the gunners have won their first two opening premier league games. on loan from real madrid he walked off with a plausible. feel—good indeed. the first match was good because the team won and they helped us really well, and good for danny and pepe and the young players, another step ahead and positive for us. at the end of the day, we walked it.

it was a dangerous area, it happens and they have got some good players as everyone in the premier league has. they took it straight on and smashed it in the corner, that can happen. you want to learn from these details but i thought overall it was a good performance. in the other premier league matches, newcastle are struggling under new manager steve bruce and they might be temporarily be top of the league but there was a howler in liverpool's match. the late game is manchester city against tottenham at the ethiad. joe lynskey has more details for us. yeah let's waste no time in getting straight we yeah let's waste no time in getting straight because the match is at half time. you can see the city is leading to —

one at the break. raheem sterling opened the scoring. sergio aguero made it 2—0, but crucially for spurs, erik lamela has pulled one back to keep them in touch. city are on 15 wins in a row in the premier league and that 5—0 thrashing of west ham would've sent a shiver through the rest of the league. but mauricio pochettino is the last man to get the better of pep guardiola — famously on this ground in the champions league last season. and we are all set up for a fascinating second half there, which is now under way. well what of the side who want to catch city this year — because liverpool were playing in the super cup in istanbul on wednesday. this is where they were before that game at stumble over in the turkish capital, a long way away from st

mary's. they've had an eight hour round trip, a very late finish and two days off before an away match at southampton today. butjurgen klopp‘s side have got an important result, 2—1 it finished, liverpool's iith straight premier league. and this was thanks to the front players who are so often so important for them — sadio mane brought a slow and frustrating first half to life with a brilliant curling strike to make iti—o, before roberto firmino fired in low to make it 2—0. now all the talk before this match was on liverpool's goalkeeping crisis — they thought they may have to give their emergency third choice keeper a game today, but adrian, their second choice was passed fit to play. he made an absolute howler though to let southampton back into the match, passing the ball straight to their striker danny ings to score in an empty net.

it made for a nervy last few minutes for last year's runners—up. liverpool came through to win 2—1 and in the circumstances, the travelling, the late finish they had on wednesday night and the test they had against southampton who they knew would be fighting for their lives, this could turn out to be a very important result. it was so difficult for us today and we showed from the first and second, nobody is tired. we came here to win the game so we have to fight like crazy. before the game, i think most of the headlines are already written and everyone is prepared for it, it looked like the biggest banana skin in history. we didn't give up, we believed in what we were doing and i think finally came back with one having

then tried everything and yeah, it isa then tried everything and yeah, it is a pity. norwich city got a harsh lesson to start life in the premier league — they were beaten 4—1 by liverpool in the opener last week, but you can see today daniel farke's side have their first win on the board in their first home match, 3—1 against newcastle. we'll get to the away side struggled shortly. and the man who was so often their hero last season was their hero today. this is teemu pukki scoring the first of what would be a hat—trick. he scored 30 goals last season. a brilliant volley followed by two well taken finishes. he has had an extraordinary rise

since hejoined norwich at he has had an extraordinary rise since he joined norwich at the start of last season. he was released by a danish site and this was his first hat—trick. he's a finland international who was on the shortlist for the finnish sports personality of the year injanuary, he didn't quite win it but he was on the left. ——list and now he's made the perfect start to premier league life — the first top flight hat trick scored by a norwich player since 1993. this is exactly the start newcastle didn't want though — there were boycotts ahead of their first home match, they've now lost their first two fixtures, and they have spurs and liverpool to come next. we knew it was going to be

difficult, a newly promoted team with their tails up in the first game back and we didn't do enough to get anything from it so we have to accept that, the whole performance with and without the four certainly wasn't the level which was required. we worked a lot in technical terms and try to influence the game as much as possible. in the first half we we re even much as possible. in the first half we were even more brilliant than the first half. in the second half we we re first half. in the second half we were also effective without any doubt. well, like norwich astno villa were playing their first home match back in the premier league. so much excitement at villa park before taking on bournemouth, but you can see they witnessed a defeat on villa's return. now villa's issue in the first few weeks of the season mayjust be how they get the best

from the host of new signings they've made in the summer — one of them is their goalkeeper tom heaton but he was at fault and gave away a penalty in the first half which josh king converted for 1—0. now bournemouth too have strengthened in the close season, and they're very excited about this man — harry wilson on his debut today — scoring brilliantly from distance to make it 2—0. it was a goal that will come to no surprise of derby county. exactly the sort of long range effort wilson's been known for in his matches for those teams. villa did get a well taken goal of their own back to make it 2—1 through douglas luiz. but even with that hairstyle it wasn't enough to brighten up villa's afternoon. they, like newcastle, have two defeats out of two.

two big mistakes and to score two goals in the first ten minutes, very difficult in this league to come back to that but credit to the lads, they kept trying, kept knocking on they kept trying, kept knocking on the door, they had some chances. more possession, more opportunities but you are always chasing the game at 2-0 but you are always chasing the game at 2—0 and it allows them to slow the game down. i'm still not sure about that player staying on the pitch, he had yellow cards. we knew the importance of the game, really pleased at the start of the match but we knew the game was going to be hugely important. aston villa got it and we were pleased with how we defended, we learnt from last week. so confirmation of those results, including a 1—0 win

for everton against watford, and a 1—1 draw between brighton and hove albion and west ham. four points for brighton from their first two games, in manager graham potter's first season in the premier league. some interesting var calls to have a look at in that game in match of the day tonight too. some long delays between confirmations of decisions. it's that late match at the bottom though we're keeping our eyes on in the next hour. you get the feeling already this is a big match for spurs — it is still too— one at the moment. totte n ha m it is still too— one at the moment. tottenham have spent some money in the transfer window this summer and we know from last season, any ground you lose a manchester city, you don't get many chances to get that back. an interesting game ahead. early days on this season but

fascinating. in scotland the second round of the league cup was extended with four of today's five fixtures going to extra time. a james forest goal in the 114th minute saved celtic‘s blushes against dunfirmline — finishing 2—1. lots of goals in the hibs v greenock morton game, it finished 5—3 to hibs. and partick thistle beat ross county 3—2. in the championship, leeds united are top of the table after the opening three games of the season. they beat wigan athletic 2—0. it was an ill tempered game with wigan down to men after just 20 minutes. —— down to ten men. both of the leeds goals came from patrick ba mford. charlton and barnsle drew. west brom beat luton 2—1. all of the day's resutls are on the bbc sport website

in league one, sunderland have got their first win of the new season — at the third attempt. they beat portsmouth 2—1 at the stadium of light. all three goals came in the first half — chris maguire with sunderland's winner — six minutes before the break. the full results from all the leagues on the bbc sport website. let's take a quick look at some other stories around today. the third round of the pga championship is under way at medina with hideki matsuyama the man to chase. he's at the top of the leaderboard after breaking the course record by two shots in the second round with a stunning nine—under—par 63. one shot behind are americans patrick cantlay and tony finau. tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy are both on 8 under. in super league, london broncos are heading for victory over catalans dragons. alex walker scoring this try for the broncos in the second half. they lead 17—4 with just a few minutes left. salford are beating hull in the day's only other game. and world number one reeanne evans has won the inaugural snooker women's tour championship beating

hong kong's ung on yee at the crucible in sheffield. it's the first time since 2003 that women have played at the iconic venue. there is something else rather big going on at the moment, isn't there? it has been a fascinating fourth day of the second test at lord's. and yet again it's steve smith who is the big talking point. the australian was hit twice during his innings, leading to him leaving the field with concerns about concussion but remarkably smith returned. he was out for 92, australia all out for 250, which meant england had a slender lead but their second innings has not started well. michael redford reports. another day of ashes cricket, another day of steve smith making the headlines, although perhaps not

in the manner he expected. 87 more i’u ns in the manner he expected. 87 more runs on day four will see him be the first batsman to score four consecutive runnings in england. how to stop him? england did not have an answer. but if you can't get smith get the man at the other end. a moment of celebration briefly. through stubbornness and style smith brought up his 50, england needed inspiration. jofra archer provided it. archer was too quick, all of a sudden smith was looking for a nswe i’s. sudden smith was looking for answers. aggression, antagonism, archer had found his ashes spirit. smith was forced to leave over concussion concerns, down but not officially out. cleared to play, he would soon return, needing 20 runs for his century. he got 12 of them before settling to chris wilkes, australia all out for 250. smith did

not field for england's second innings. australia did not seem to miss him. wickets tumbling at regular intervals. england's read is slowly building but there is still plenty of work to do. and here's the very latest from lords... england 92—4. a lead of 100. the top scorerfor the top scorer for australia was smith. a dreadful start for england. in theory we still have another days play left. wales are number one in the world for the first time ever after beating england in cardiff. warren gatland's side ground out a 13—6 victory in the world cup warm—up. it pushes new zealand off the top spot for the first time in 10 years as holly hamilton now reports. another week closer to the world cup, another chance to prove their worth. england know they will be boarding

the flight to japan whilst for wales, there was more than just pride at stake. one man looking to book his plane ticket is dan biggar. backin back in the number ten shirt. he followed up an early penalty with fast thinking. england went a man down and he took his chance to the arms of george north who duly complied with the only try of the game. after the break, the friendly felt a little less friendly as england finally got some points on the board. george ford narrowing the gap with his second penalty, just four points in it, enough to make the home fans a bit nervous. they may not have worried. this leigh halfpenny kick added to the welsh scoreline and gave them the win as wales go top of the world rankings for the first time. france host scotland at the allianz in nice in under an hour's time. the last time the two sides met it was a convincing 27—10 win

to france in the six nations. scotland though have come through the injury crisis that caused them problems when they played that match. andy burke reports from nice. scotla nd scotland come here to the french riviera looking to register a victory. it would be a shot in the arm ahead of the world cup next month in japan. it arm ahead of the world cup next month injapan. it was over 20 years since the scots last one in france but it is the performance of individuals that will be key with world cup places up for grabs. duncan taylor starts his first test match for over two years. john barclay throws on a scotland jersey for the first time in a year also. they will all be looking to impress gregor townsend and secure a seat on the plane to japan and what better way to do that then end scotland's long losing run here in france. world champions new zealand have emphatically bounced back from last week's record test defeat to australia. they hammered their rivals 36—0

in auckland, with a really polished performance, richie mo'unga scoring 14 points, including the opening try — although there was cause for concern later when he was forced off the field after a heavy tackle. sevu reece kicked through to finish off the pick of the tries in the second half. it's the 17th season in a row that new zealand have lifted the bledisloe cup. south africa came from behind to beat argentina 2a— 18, thanks to two tries by sibussiso nkosi and some accurate kicking from eltonjantjies. all four home nations have been in action on day 2 of hockey‘s euro nations championship. automatic qualification for the tokyo olympics is the prize for the winner. and wales were denied a famous win in their opening match. they drew 2—2 with england — but had led 2—1 with just over eight minutes left —

thanks to this own goalfrom henry weir. but, after swapping their goalkeeper for an extra attacker, england snatched a draw. james gall with the equaliser withjust over 2 minutes remaining. both teams are back in action tomorrow. five to go and being in that position, it is a per position —— a position, it is a per position —— a position we are familiar with the disappointed we cannot pull through. really pleased with their first run out, it took us a a while to get going and it wasn't a complete performance. patches of good stuff, i think we got better as the game went on and became more confident with the ball. scotland had a nightmare start to their tournament though. they were thrashed 9—0 by germany in their opening match in pool b. the eight—time winners were 4—0 up at half time and continued to dominate with 3 more

in the final quarter. it was tough, obviously we're disappointed with the way the results they are a top side and it isa results they are a top side and it is a good learning curve. we have not played this position for a long time so it is good to be here, but we don't want to just be here, we wa nt to we don't want to just be here, we want to compete so it was a bit of a lesson but we will learn from it. well scotland face ireland on sunday — who will also be licking their wounds after a heavy first round defeat. irleand were thrashed 5—1 by the netherlands — the reigning champions scoring their first three goals inside the opening 8 minutes. tomorrow some of the best athletes in the world head to the west midlands for the birmingham diamond league. christian coleman, nafi thiam and katarina johnson thompson are all competing. one of the showpiece events is the women's 200 metres — it's an impressive line up with five of the fastest seven in the world this year in the starting blocks — and that doesn't include reigning world champion daphne schippers. britain's dina asher smith is also

in that 200 metre starting line up — so what was her first thought when she saw the entry list? i was like boy. i was like look, i'm out here on my home turf on a nice race and you brought every fantastic female sprinter to birmingham which obviously is great, i am a competitive person so it is going to make me raise my game and run a fast race. when i first saw it there was another athlete that was still in it andi another athlete that was still in it and i was like, you just lined up the olympics here. we don't need to go to tokyo, you have brought it to birmingham. that laugh is infectious, isn't it? and you can watch tomorrow's grand prix from birmingham live on bbc one from 1.30pm. the pa ra—canoe world championships take place in hungary this week and,

for great britain's hope gordon, it'll mark the next step on a remarkable journey. three years ago, suffering from an agonising condition, she chose to have her leg amputated — and it's transformed her life. ben croucher has the story. so, when i was 12, i went to school one day just absolutely fine, just your average kid. during school my leg, essentially, just stopped working. eventually, i got diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome, so i went through nearly ten years‘ worth of treatment and most of them actually made my life worse, not better. eventually, i elected to have my leg amputated. we often hear how athletes make tough decisions. hope gordon knows all about this. three years ago, she took the drastic decision to have her leg removed after it had been causing her constant pain for a decade. the nhs does not offer amputation as a treatment for hope's condition because there's no medical guarantee that it will stop the pain, but hope was willing to that risk, so she raised money for a private

doctor to perform the surgery. yeah, life isjust so much better. everybody tells me that i look like a new person. my quality of life is just through the roof. and, just a year after her operation, she became a national champion in the swimming pool. she responded to an advert looking for a canoeist and she took to that equally well. she's a great success story for the scottish canoe association, one of our home nations up there. she's worked on their talent programme and then has progressed through on to the full world—class programme and it's fantastic to see herjust absolutely blossoming, really. the next target is to perform at the world championships in hungary. only then can gorgon start thinking about a paralympic debut. i want to go and enjoy it and put down the best race i can and, if i can do that, then, hopefully, that will put me in a good position. she's now on the start line of the next phase of her life — just a flat—out sprint ahead.

before we go — let's show you this — the world climbing championships continued injapan today. it was the turn of the speed climbers, just have a look at this from poland's aleksandra miroslav. she scaled the wall in just over 7 seconds to take gold and successfully defend her title. ludovico fossali of italy won the men's gold medal. that is a sport that is going to be in the tokyo olympics which i think people is looking forward to. i think it would take me seven seconds to put the harness on, never mind scale up there. not good if you are scared of heights as well. it is now 2—2 as spurs has equalised. in the cricket, after the second test, england are 96 for four, they

lead by an hundred and four. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more at half past seven. it has been a sunshine and showers kind of day but some places have had more than their fair share, close to this area of low pressure to the north—west of scotland, we will see plenty of shower cloud working in to scotla nd plenty of shower cloud working in to scotland and northern ireland but oui’ scotland and northern ireland but our attention is also turning towards this area of cloud, the weather front is going to slide rain across southern coastal counties of england before that rain turns northwards. for some of us, there will be a bit of rain to come as we go through the night and some of the rain could be quite heavy. in between the systems are a couple of isolated showers but it is largely a mild night with clear spells. stays breezy. temperatures between io—iad.

if we have the rain start off, it will move away quickly and it is another day of sunshine and showers. the majority across scotland and northern ireland, north—west england and west wales. isolated showers elsewhere in temperatures reaching a height of up to 22 degrees.

this is bbc news, i'm ben bland. the headlines at seven. detectives investigating the death of a police officer have said he died of "multiple injuries", as they were given more time to question 10 suspects. within an hour of the incident happening we had arrested ten males aged between 13 and 30 on suspicion of murder. i can confirm that the males were arrested from a local authority run caravan and mobile home site. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of lawyer peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. pro—democracy protesters take to the streets of hong kong once more — they've been supported by thousands of teachers. jeremy corbyn‘s proposal to be installed as a ‘caretaker‘ prime minister to prevent a no—deal brexit is rejected by another senior conservative mp.
